Boulangerie Le Toledo

If you’ve ever dreamed of reliving those lazy Parisian mornings—where the scent of fresh croissants mingles with the hum of café chatter—then Boulangerie Le Toledo is your Montreal dream come true.

From the moment you step inside, the air is thick with the aroma of artisan breads and buttery pastries. The vibe? Think cozy corner bistro with a touch of Montreal joie de vivre. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the space is always buzzing with locals and visitors alike.

Now, let’s talk highlights. The chausson aux pommes—oh là là! Generous, flaky, and bursting with apple goodness. It’s hands-down the best I’ve had in Canada, and every bite whisks me back to my student days in France, where pastries were a way of life. Pair it with their espresso, which is robust, smooth, and just the right temperature.

But don’t stop at the chausson. The croissants are buttery and crisp, the sourdough is chewy perfection, and the sandwiches (especially the bagnat poulet and ciabatta with tuna) are worthy of a Parisian lunch break. The almond croissant? A must-try.

Le Toledo isn’t just a bakery, it’s a destination. With its communal tables, free WiFi, and sunlit windows, it’s the perfect spot to linger with a book or catch up with friends. Whether you’re a Montreal local or just passing through, make sure to arrive early!

Final verdict: If you’re looking for a reason to fall in love with Le Plateau all over again, this is it. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Love their bakeries & sandwiches 💕 Good/typical prices for Montreal, great quality bakery and fast service

Incredible bakery. I make a point of coming here every time I’m in Montreal.

I went on a Sunday morning, it was full house. I had an almond croissant with iced latte. The croissant was very fresh but the latte was very ordinary, it was not exciting.

Nice atmosphere. Of course, I had to wait as there were many people. During summers they have outside sitting so I was able to find a place. The staff was very welcoming and even apologized often as I had to wait.

My daughters and I visited Montreal for our summer vacation and this is the one place we will miss the most. As croissant and coffee connoisseurs, we all agreed this was the best we’ve ever had!! We told ourselves that we would force ourselves to try new cafes each day of our 11 day trip but we kept finding ourselves back at Le Toledo every single morning.

Bakery with amazing bread, also has vegan chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, and a few other treats!

I bought a Brioche yesterday made the day before for $13, it's already a little dry and no taste and the service is good to be fast but it's a bit factory we don't have time to watch as they jump us above and presto we pay it's stressful

The croissants are excellent, but the employees are very rude. The server was so rude to us that we don't want to come back.

Is Toledo really all it's cracked up to be? By Montreal/Paris standards, it's ... rather plainly... standard. Nothing is bad, nothing is incredible. It's all mostly decent (though a bit more expensive than other bakeries) with a few exceptions. So why the 3 stars? Quite frankly the place itself is unkempt and in some areas, not very clean, at least in the dining area. I also noticed that some of their tea and coffee is stored in a shelf which is at the level of their feet, where dirt and dust gets kicked around.
